Gear Motions, Inc., has acquired Pro-Gear Co., Inc., in Buffalo, New York. Pro-Gear is a gear manufacturer for original equipment manufacturers such as Mack Truck, and also provides quick-turnaround gear grinding services for gear manufacturers that need additional capacity or companies that need external gear grinding services. Gary Rackley, founder and president of Pro-Gear, has more than 45 years in the gear industry, and will transition the company as it joins the Gear Motions family of precision ground gear specialists.
“As Pro-Gear becomes part of the Gear Motions, we will continue to offer a high-level of flexibility and customization to our customers,” said Gear Motions President and CEO Sam Haines. “The transition should be seamless as all personnel from the Pro-Gear production team join the Gear Motions team at our Oliver Gear location.”
“This is a great merger of Gear Motions’ state-of-the-art gear grinding technology with Pro-Gear’s proven ability to turn around its customers ground gears needs in a hurry,” Rackley says.
Gear Motions is a gear grinding network that includes Nixon Gear in Syracuse, New York, and Oliver Gear and Pro-Gear in Buffalo. The company manufactures cut or precision ground gears for customers around the world. Products include precision spur, helical, bevel, and worm gears, as well as multiple types of belt sprockets, timing pulleys, and splines. For more information, visit www.gearmotions.com.
